A Matcha Made In Heaven

I thought I’d do my first recipe post today; it’s a super simple pancake recipe that I love (perfect for weekend breakfast/brunch/hangovers etc). These are pancakes that I cook a lot; however, I thought I’d add some of my matcha green tea powder to see what the results were like. The results were yum. Green. But, yum non the less. Can we just take a second to appreciate the plate above; it’s another item that I’ve permanently “borrowed” from my mom. It’s a piece of 70s magic, and the perfect plate for pancakes.

I’m a fan of this recipe because it’s so easy for me to carb count, which helps me work out my insulin. The egg is totally optional; so these could easily become vegan pancakes, although they’d have a different texture. I like adding an egg for extra protein, and it helps with the binding side of things. The same goes for the salt; I’m a salt addict, and love the flavour it brings to the party, but you could totally skip it. As well as matcha almond lattes; I will add the green powder to my porridge to give it a boost (caffeine + antioxidants), so I decided these pancakes deserved the same opportunity to shine (in a pond-green sort of way). Okay, it’s time to get your frying pan ready…

These ingredients made 6 small pancakes (perfect for one person), I would double them if you have company:

1 x Banana (I can never write banana(s) without singing the line from Hollaback Girl)

Hey

I’m Fay; a writer + illustrator from Birmingham who loves food, the 90s, and animals. I write other people’s content for a living, so I felt like giving myself an outlet where I could discuss my own shiz.

I’m a pescatarian, cruelty-free skincare addict, with Type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease. These do not limit what I can eat; they only affect the thought process beforehand.

Stick around if you fancy reading about food, mental + physical health challenges, and what’s happening in Birmingham; the greatest place on earth. I also film YouTube videos and take plenty of pictures. I’ll try not to waffle on at you (I realise I have failed already. Mmm waffles).
